Betting Highlight
One of my strongest betting memories actually comes from a horse racing bet on the Wednesday of the 2015 Cheltenham Festival. Dodging Bullets had won the Champion Chase, leaving the second leg – Moon Racer in the Champion Bumper. He blew the start and had ground to make up, but sliced his way through the field to win by 1½ lengths and land a tidy double. In terms of a football bet, it's got to be Leonardo Bonucci to score anytime, as well as to score two or more (100/1) against Venezia!
Betting Heartbreak
No losing bet sticks out like a sore thumb. There are those bets where you end up with egg on your face having gone for goals, only for it to finish 0-0. Or, those card doubles and trebles you place, where the referee plays an advantage for a cautionable offence and that player escapes leaving your bet in tatters – there’ve been plenty of those down the years.
